Górnołużycki Związek Sześciu Miast (GZSM) – sieciowy produkt regionalny na pograniczu polsko-niemieckim
The Upper Sorbian Six-City League – regional network product on the Polish-German borderland

Summary/Abstract: The article discusses the Upper Sorbian Six-City League, its historical and contemporary function. The League was established in the 14th century within the Kingdom of Bohemia and has currently been reactivated – owing to the participation of Lower Silesian Saxon cities it extends the spectrum of regional products along Polish-German border region. The author puts forward the following thesis and desires to justify it: the alliance of cities reactivated in 1991 remains the example of networking cooperation by enriching the regional product, stimulating the development of tourism and other business areas in the cross-border scale along the Polish-German-Czech border region, in the so-called Triangle of three countries (in German Dreiländereck, in Czech Trojzemi). The final part of the study offers the author’s verification of the presented conclusions, resulting from the research on the alliance functioning, conducted in the period 2002–2004. The author updated these conclusions and supported them with certain recommendations for the future.
